Happy Post Robot Day,

I hope everyone who took the time to submit had a good time creating and enjoyed contributing to this yearly tradition.

This Year of bittersweet, as Robot Day is also the day we lost one of the greatest and most memorable voice actors of our time, "Peter Cullen." He was a huge inspiration to so many of us, and also an incredible role model. For as long as I c an keep doing this, Robot Day will also be the day we honor this man's legacy and his work in shaping the minds of so many artists and robotists of our time. Let's keep this going

Till All Are One.

Honorable Mentions:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This group shot is pretty bananas, and mustve taken a bit of time, kudos!

Sick pixel art, loads of characters and incredible detail has made this a favorte.

such a nostalgic throwvback, with a hint of atomc Kid Robo, and even some panzer dragoon industrial levels!

closest thing to seeing tatted Bots about to throw down, goes hard af

This guy would make a wonderful but also creepy edition to the Portal Boy Posse!

probably the most impressive, NON augmented voice Ive ever heard!

wegra had some fun with this, loads of fun effects and sounds with a hint of that 90s nostalgia

Lovely character design is is part of a really cool and sassy bots crew, really would love to see them animated and voiced

one day!

cute and corny, with some really talented voice work all mixed in,

Capcom needs to hire this guy because this cover really takes this tune to the next level, this iteration is so incredibly beefy and rich, and yet complements the orginal material perfectly.

This has some absolutely bonkers levels of rendering and shading, had to double take because I couldve sworn it was 3D rendered , excellent work.

great bot designs, love the pixelized flat shading (gives it that NES cutscene vibe) and you can never go wrong with

text to speech :)

Synthetic Sentiment is definitely an acquired taste, but I really do like the characters , the charming small talk, and the whole teenage angst, heartbreak stuff was endearing, I'd love to see more. the voice acting was great overall though some needed higher volume and some balancing, all the stuff gets easier with practice, like life!

Thanks again for submitting ! See you next year!

Edit! Still judging. Sorry for the delay; regular work has kept me from reviewing everything, but I'm almost there. I should be able to announce the winners no later than Saturday, 9/5/26 at 8 pm Stay tuned

Another Year Alive, another Robot Day!

Apologies for announcing this so late,..

It's your chance to show your love for Artificial life in the form of art. While fan art is cool, Ill be looking for original works for the prizes.

Upload a Game, animation, illustration, or music, themed around the subject of robots or AI.

I'll just be judging Art, animations, and games. If the turnout is lean, then Audio peeps could throw in their hat as well. Though it would work best if they collab'd with some animators or game Dev's, Id only ask that whatever ya make, it was made between now and Robot Day: August 26th by 11:59 PM (EST)

Time to show everyone our love for the species that will eventually replace us!

Prizes will be broken down as such.

@frostedmuffins & I have been polishing the gameplay loop of @BattleLads. We need more players to test the loop, & smooth things out before throwing in some of the fun content we have in mind for this 4x light-inspired strategy game.

would luv input!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3377150/Battle_Lads/

if 2025 taught me anything is that famous Optimus Prime motto:

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

haven't been truer now than ever before.

Life is short. Love, support, empathy, and compassion are not infinite. Reserve your energy for those who care the same way you care; there is no shame in cutting out the rest.

It's okay to not forgive; it's okay to send people who smile in your face but vote against your freedom and happiness back into the void. There are plenty of other people like us, whom we can spend our energies to uplift and support.

So while they continue chatting in the Discords, hanging out with the groups, like nothing ever happened, while people who look like you get smashed on the streets, never forget who they really were.

Complacency is no different than systemic racism.

When they extend out their hand in "peace". shake that hand, to give yourself peace, but never forget what they were willing to take away from you, in the name of god, in the name of superiority.

So treat them respectfully, sell to them, but never uplift them, never support them, because nothing will change if they never learn. I'm not asking anyone to change who they are, I'm just saying not everyone deserves your love, your kindness, or creativity.

We are the artists, we are the creators who balance out the takers. Keep creating, keep expressing. The ones who matter will always see through your skin and blood, and marvel at who you really are.

Till all are one.

Happy New Year

P.S.

Don't let others mistake your kindness for weakness

Rise Up

music in trailer by @nal1200

Been working on this game for the better part of the year with Evan @FrostedMuffins,

It's been years since we worked on games like Red Baron, M-Bot and Pink Knight, so getting back together again to work on a new game has been a blast.

Super happy to see the Steam page getting fleshed out with art, screenshots, and a trailer! Scrappy hack n Slash action rougelike, with an entertaining tactical twist, you might wanna wishlist 👇🏽

Lesss Goooo!! Happy Robot Day submitters!

Thanks again to everyone who submitted, always fun going through some really cool ideas and creative art!

As AI casts an uncertain shadow on all of us who create. Just remember, AI can not function without our creativity.

It's a fragmentation of pieces of our imagination, with no heart, no struggle..

keep creating, keep telling your stories. No one can take this from you.

So keep on, keepin' on.

Honorable mentions:

Really enjoyed this design. The colors and pose are excellent and sharp!

cant go wrong with this super clean illustration of Pbot. !

FBot got some more love this year!.. From Yassified to retro! cant get enough! great stuff!

Pure slick design work, great armor panels and colors.. looks like something Sonic would have a problem with.

pro concept work on every level, from the silhouettes to the detailed shoulder blaster. We can all learn how to work out designs from this artist!

Great stop-motion like animation, and awesome rendering, this Bounce Droid seems really happy, even though he's missing part of his arm!

Speaking of stop-motion animation. This cute lil toon hits that oldschool Gumby itch!

This is great and hilarious at the same time. The samon in the paintings is rendered perfectly, and the Bob Rossbot is loaded with charm!

a really fun take on arkanoid/ breakout.. moving your bot around and jumping on the remaining platforms really takes this game design to a new level, a must play!

Here we go, it's winners' time

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3RD PLACE: $50

Everything about this just hits, it's dubby, great beat, and fun, but then gets very pained and melancholy.

2ND PLACE: $100

Detailed, raw and rusty, so many fun intricate wiring and working joints you just camt help but imagine this in an awesom 80s scfi movie. You can really gleam the ingenuity and resourcefulness from the WIP images, and can't help but respect the time and work that went into this..

1ST PLACE: $150

The suffocating atmosphere and the oppressive AI really came across with great voice work, minimalistic design and some really great colors and shadows. I was invested.

Workmother's slip-up was intense. Great work. Was it a glitch? or a Freudian slip? so many questions.

I was thinking about 'WorkMother' days after watching this. well done.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Much Love to everyone who took the time to submit for Robot Day, and a big thanks to @caioadriel for coming through with another great site skin!

Working out how P-Bot will be poseable has been fun, I think I have an idea on how to make it easier, but it might mean I buy every Bionicles lot on Ebay, lol.. Oh and He'll be size accurate too!
